VentureBeat: In Beijing this summer? Use Jajah’s mobile Chinese-English translation service

    I tried to use the service from Shanghai, and reviewed my experience: http://biesnecker.com/stream/jajah-babel-not-qu...

    In short: it kept telling me to call back later (after recording) and then hanging up. Seems like a fun toy, and maybe the start of something bigger, but I'd hate to be in Beijing, lost, and relying on it.

    Yep - and if you are in China and your mobile phone doesn't work - rent a phone from Yoyoor - www.yoyoor.com - They have live personal assistants to help with everything from translations to finding a place to eat.
